Git Bits

These are utilities for working with git, including some higher-level commands to support certain workflows.

They rely on Git's behaviour of hooking into your PATH and turning any command git-foo into a git subcommand git foo.

They are largely undocumented and unsupported right now, so YMMV. Happy to discuss them - Github-message me.

git-beta-features

Shows a graph of all branches that have been merged into beta, but not into master.

git-clarity

Shows a graph of branch points, merges and tagged commits. (See also git clarity -h.)

git-committool

Shortcut for using git difftool to view the changes in a single commit.

git-local

TODO

git-merge-feature

Merges a feature branch into the current branch, then deletes the feature branch.

git-nows

Remove all the "bad whitespace" (as defined by git) from your uncommitted changes.

git-pdf

Given the name of a feature branch, builds a beautifully syntax-highlit PDF file containing all commits on that feature branch since it diverged from master, and also shows the full text of all source files touched somewhere in the branch. Useful for doing code reviews on a mobile device, e.g. iPad.

git-review

TODO

git-review-commits

Uses git difftool to review, one commit at a time, all commits in a specified range. Goes through the commits in the order you'd expect (i.e. parents precede children).

git-russet

Safer, saner alternative to git reset. Takes the same arguments and options, but adds saner semantics: for example, --hard prompts you if it would lose changes.

This is mostly for use in aliases: some of git reset's behaviour is too verbose to type often, but too dangerous to be easy to type, so this gives you something that's safe to alias to something short.

git-wipify

TODO
